Today’s complex network systems have become the foundation of business.  A network’s reliability and performance are essential.  With so many interrelated devices and applications running simultaneously, system event diagnosis can be a challenge.  Real-time visibility can significantly reduce the reaction time to system events, thus maintaining continuous operations and, more importantly, revenue.

How can real-time network performance monitoring help? For one, our customers are seeing a reduction in operation costs.  They are using less effort to manage their networks with application-based technology with built-in automation. This proactive approach to network management allows real-time visibility spanning the entire critical IT infrastructure.

Some of the features and benefits of network performance monitoring include:

• Monitoring the health of key Critical Assets
• Viewing current bandwidth usage and identifying bottlenecks
